The attorney's office informed the family of IDF officer Amit Itach today (Thursday) that the indictment against Rafe Aslan, the driver accused of killing the young woman in a car accident, is more than valid. This, with an emphasis on the crime of negligence, which the Supreme Court claimed should be dropped.

State Attorney Amit Isman informed the family today that the indictment, which attributes to Aslan the offenses of causing death by negligence, neglect, causing actual bodily harm and obstruction of justice, will remain unchanged.
